Authorized by the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins quickly became one
of the world's leading gold bullion investment coins. Produced from gold mined in the United
States, American Eagles are imprinted with their gold content and legal tender "face"
value. An American Eagle's value is based on the market price of its metal content, plus a
small premium to cover coinage and distribution.

American Eagles use the durable 22 karat standard established for gold circulating coinage over 350 years ago.
They contain their stated amount of pure gold, plus small amounts of alloy.
This creates harder coins that resist scratching and marring, which can diminish resale value.

Minted to exacting standards, the obverse (front) design is inspired by what's often considered one
of America's most beautiful coins: Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated $20 gold piece, minted
from 1907-1933. The reverse design, by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings.

Government Guarantee

What truly sets American Eagles apart is that they are the only bullion coins whose weight, content
and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. Investors can buy them with
confidence, knowing the coins contain their stated amount of gold. In addition, long-term savers
can include American Eagles in their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).

Investing in Gold

Ever since its discovery 5,000 years ago, gold has been treasured for its unmatched luster, beauty and intrinsic value.
Today, gold continues to enjoy widespread appeal as an investment and storehouse of value.
Gold is an internationally recognized monetary and financial asset held in reserve by major governments.

What's more, gold is a tangible asset - one whose beauty and artistry you can literally hold in your hands.
When purchased in the form of legal tender bullion coins, gold can be affordable, as well as easy to buy and store.
